I have their white 194 matrix LED, I didn't follow what others said "Don't touch the bulb"... Car on, lights on (I don't turn off lights). 6 months and still shining strong. Not quite sure why yours keep burning out..

huh, that is weird, have had my blue refractor LEDs in for a while, and no problem...

...do you just keep replacing them? ...i'd go with these...have them, love them, no problems: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2-BLUE-SUPE...055906235QQrdZ1

Good luck.

You know that with the Indiglo guages you can hook it up to automatically turn on with your lights... Like when you turn on the switch to turn your headlights on the guages come on. Thats what the guy did in my convertible.

I am now a part of the ihavemorethen16gc club!
i still wonder why its happening to me, but not the others. i would go indiglo if i cant figure this out.

1.: common cluster bulb works with 100mA curren (more-less). LED burns with 30-35 mA -> all cluster LEDs must have some resistor inside. That resistor reduce curren to 20-25mA. So if your car circuit rise (fitfully) 10mA up, your LEDs may say bye bye... Try to measure that.

2.: do not start up engine with lights on (lights must be off during engine start up because of high curren peaks (common thing))

they're the right size LEDs right? You shouldn't have to do anything other than just put them in the car.
